Method and apparatus for selecting radio resources for vehicle (V2X) communications from an overlapping resource pool
View Patent ↗A user equipment (UE) comprises processor circuitry, sensing circuitry, and transmitting circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to acquire broadcast signaling from a base station, the broadcast signaling including a threshold value list. The sensing circuitry is configured to measure a reception power and to compare the measured reception power with a threshold. The transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit a sidelink transmission if a resource is available according to resource sensing. The threshold is obtained from the threshold value list in dependence upon at least a priority of the sidelink transmission.
1. A first user equipment (UE) that is in direct communication with a second user equipment (UE) different from the first user equipment (UE), the first user equipment (UE) comprising:
processor circuitry configured to acquire broadcast signaling from a base station, the broadcast signaling including a threshold value list;
sensing circuitry configured to measure a reception power and to compare the measured reception power with a single threshold;
transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a sidelink transmission using a resource that is available according to resource sensing in a case that the measured reception power is lower than the single threshold;
wherein the single threshold is obtained from the threshold value list in dependence upon at least a priority of the sidelink transmission.
2. The first user equipment (UE) of claim 1 , wherein the first user equipment (UE) further comprises receiving circuitry configured to receive a sidelink transmission from the second user equipment (UE), the sidelink transmission from the second user equipment (UE) including control information which comprises an indication of priority of the second user equipment (UE).
3. The first user equipment (UE) of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink transmission includes control information which indicates the priority of the sidelink transmission.
4. A method in a first user equipment (UE) that is in direct communication with a second user equipment (UE) different from the first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
using processor circuitry to acquire broadcast signaling from a base station, the broadcast signaling including a threshold value list;
using sensing circuitry to measure a reception power and to compare the measured reception power with a single threshold;
transmitting a sidelink transmission using a resource that is available according to resource sensing in a case that the measured reception power is lower than the single threshold;
wherein the single threshold is obtained from the threshold value list in dependence upon at least a priority of the sidelink transmission.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving a sidelink transmission from the second user equipment (UE), the sidelink transmission from the second user equipment (UE) including control information which comprises an indication of priority of the second user equipment (UE).
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the sidelink transmission includes control information which indicates the priority of the sidelink transmission.
7. The first user equipment (UE) of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink transmission is a sidelink transmission in the available resource.
8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the sidelink transmission is a sidelink transmission in the available resource.
